Please, please tell us this is not true. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in Vogue? No. Just no. There is so much talent in young Hollywood that Vogue has yet to include. On the plus side, Abby has definitively decided she will be dressing as Ash (already a front-runner) for her “Dress as Your Most Loathed Celebrity”-themed Halloween/Birthday party.

I can tolerate this as long as its just an editorial. But if she's on the cover, I am canceling my subscription.
After seeing The September Issue, I agree that it was a smart move on Anna's part to place more celebrities in Vogue... but we've reached a point where the preoccupation with celebrity culture seems to be a detriment to the magazine. I really hope we see more models on the cover from now on- to be honest, uber-thin waif types are a welcome change from the fame-obsessed "actresses" that have been featured as of late.

ashlee is my most loathed too. "love your bodies girls, but starve yourselves and get a complete appearance changing nose job. also, dye your hair a ridiculous shade of horrible!" i sometimes watch melrose place (dont judge) and she makes these pouty sexy faces so much that i had to develop a drinking game for it just to be able to watch.

Pete and Ashlee with 2 e's are the most annoying coupe EVER. Kate Hudson, Avril Lavigne, Mischa Barton, Renee, also with 2 e's, Zellweger, Roxy from the City, Rachel Ray, and Tyra are retarded too.

Roxy is deeeeeevastating! She is so awful. I love that she said, "I would wear 50% of what's in here," when talking about Whitney's collection as if she were bestowing a knighthood upon her.
Whhhyyyy do I watch this show?
And Jac, I completely agree on your assessment re: love your body, but with $100K of plastic surgery.

Is this really THAT surprising? Vogue's been going down the shitter for the last couple years in my opinion. I find it's either so socialite-pretentious that normal people (i.e. people who have to work to buy luxury clothes) can't relate to it or it's boring celebrity stuff (and not necessarily interesting celebs). I stopped reading Vogue a few years ago and switched to Harper's Bazaar. Even Marie Claire is better than Vogue these days!

#7, Marie Claire is stretching it a little. Look on the bright side, you still have French/British/Japanese Vogue.

You're fucking wrong Amber #10! There are no good American fashion magazines; it's all in Europe, Japan and possibly Cambodia in the near future.
Although, NYC-based Miguel Adrover and Aitor Throup just started a new publishing house called Coup D'Etat.

She won't be on the cover - you can all calm yourselves down.

Umm after that last Vogue cover with select "Nine" cast mates that were horribly photoshopped together, I canceled my subscription to Vogue.
Absolute travesty. If no one can there can say "NO" to that cover, I have doubts that someone can say no to A. SimpWentz.
Someone at Vogue needs a good girlfriend (or guy friend) to tell them NO, get it the f*ck together, start making magic happen.

you know number 16, the really awful thing is i'm pretty sure they weren't photoshopped together. i saw some paparazzi photos of all of them at the beach. something just went horribly wrong during the editing of the photo.
the whole issue is horrible though, karlie kloss has FOUR freaking edits. four!

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but did any InStyle subscribers see the letters-to-the-editor section of the Nov issue (Reese Witherspoon cover)? A reader actually suggested that InStyle put Kim Kardashian on the cover. I'm tempted to write in and say that if THAT happens, I'm cancelling my subscription immediately.
